Shopping
Wow! Albany Megacentre is New Zealand’s largest shopping mall and will double in size over the next few years, and it is only a stroll away. And right near the Megacentre is North Harbour Stadium for the big football matches.
Transport
This must be the North Shores most convenient location. There are two motorway interchanges to the North and South. There is easy access to the beaches of East Coast Bays and the smaller, main-street shopping precincts of Brown Bay and Mairangi Bay. The new Albany Bus Station whisks residents into Auckland in minutes via the new Northern Busway. There’s a timetable here. Up on East Coast Road regular buses run to Takapuna and Milford.
